Despite the growing focus of educational institutions on students’ practical abilities beyond theoretical knowledge, perception that students have their competencies is crucial for effective application in professional contexts. Accordingly, this paper reports a study 435 university attending ten universities eight countries Americas (Chile, Colombia, Mexico), Asia (Pakistan and Philippines), Europe (Spain, Finland, Serbia). The goal was to measure perceptions achievement complex thinking competency its sub-competencies. intention identify how cultural, educational, socioeconomic differences among account variances self-assessment competencies, impacting preparedness. focused thinking, considering critical importance solving current environmental problems. analysis employed non-parametric Brown–Forsythe statistical test Bonferroni correction, given non-normality heteroscedasticity data. It found (i) there no statistically significant difference by gender; (ii) are all types per country, geographical area (continent), Human Development Index (HDI).

Purpose This article endeavors to detail the outcomes of an exploratory investigation into perceived attainment levels complex thinking competencies among business students at a technological university in western Mexico. It seeks examine and contrast students' self-assessed development this critical competency, along with its associated sub-competencies, throughout their academic tenure. Design/methodology/approach Our analysis focused on two distinct groups students, one beginning journey other nearing completion, explore whether perceptions competency were equitable across genders. Utilizing multivariate descriptive statistical analysis, we able substantiate existence gender gap competencies. Findings While both male female showed improvement self-perceived competencies, results indicate that women outperformed counterparts area sub-competencies by conclusion degree programs. Practical implications The evidence suggests there is educational process for group highlighting urgent need minimise disparities perception between about Originality/value presents findings pave way future research aimed exploring strategies narrow achievement studies, considering how environment cultural elements can be determining factors perceive abilities skills.

In the next 5 years, artificial intelligence (AI) tools are expected to become commonplace in people’s lives, especially their work processes. Therefore, educational institutions feel intrinsically responsible for ensuring that students acquire and develop competences associated with appropriate use of this technology programs. However, what perceptions regarding inclusion process future careers, competencies can influence a greater adoption classroom? The objective article presents results an exploratory study sample population from technological university Mexico, which perception openness toward training professions was examined. Their development complex thinking its sub-competencies evaluated, recognizing is valuable cognitive skill face changes uncertain environments. methodology consisted multivariate descriptive statistical analysis using R software. determined positive correlation between students’ perceived improvement achievement competence AI tools. conclusion, participants these as feature profession, although they questioned whether knowledge included professional training. This several findings offer ample opportunities research.

As traditional education systems struggle to keep up with technological advances, incorporating open science into Education 5.0 is critical addressing student skills gaps. In this study, the MAICC model introduced, a tool designed foster complex thinking in higher students through evaluation of citizen projects. It integrates research-based learning and service learning, helps develop reflective by applying them real-life settings. To assess engagement development, mixed methods approach combining qualitative quantitative analysis was used. Findings indicate that promotes thinking, enhances project evaluation, features an emphasis on educational technology. Discussion highlights science’s important role suggests future research exploring its wider application across disciplines contexts enhance 21st century skills.
